Failure of the Bi-Metal to lift can usually be traced to an interruption of its circuit path, which includes the heating element The rinse injector Bi-Metat is very similar to that for the detergent cup, and it is checked in the same manner, A voltmeter may beused in series with the Bi-Metal (see Figure 53) to check for an open circuit condition_ Reference should be made to the proper schematic wiring diagram to locate such a condition

FIGUP,E 53

CA UTION:

Do not apply line voltage across the Bi-Metat as this would destroy it, A voltmeter

across the Bi.Metal terminal will indicate approximately one volt if operation is correct

but a poor connection at the Bi-Metal terminal could show line voltage,

Leaking Wetting Agent Dispenser - Bi-Metal Type

Overfilling the wetting agent dispenser can cause the liquid to be forced past the plunger when the plug is replaced, This liquid will run down the door between the door and outer panel and may drip to the floor Make sure that the door of the dishwasher does not open past the horizontal position This may cause the wetting agent to leak out, This can be corrected by raising the front levelers slightly on undercounter models
